Hmm... just had a problem, though it didn't freeze, the keyboard events stopped being handled by X, though the mouse events kept working. I could ssh in, but sudo wouldn't return, and system load was at 4 or 5, while no processes were running. Checked the syslog after powering off and cold booting:
